Byteviewer

Very simple CLI tool that reads a file from the standard input and prints it in a series of different encodings. Right now only supports very basic encodings, and reads n bytes at a time (set with -width, must be a multiple of 8)

Installation

Simply build the program and install it on your local system

go build
sudo mv byteviewer /usr/local/bin

Usage

Simply read from any standard input and flag all the formats you want to display, like so:

cat myfile | byteviewer -int32 -hex -uint8

uint8                           int32                 hex

104,190,0,0,107,206,0,0         48744,52843           68be00006bce0000

(sample output)

You can also just do:

byteviewer -int32 -hex -uint8 < myfile

slightly faster than using cat, but doesn't really matter

Supported formats (WIP):

1. int8
2. uint8
3. int16
4. uint16
5. int32
6. uint32
7. float32
8. int64
9. uint64
10. float64
11. hex
12. ascii
13. utf8
